THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE
MATTER-IMPoRTANT HINTS TO
THOSE WHO SEEK TO OCCUPY
RESPECTABLE POSITIONS AMONG
THEIR FELLOWS.
And now, in conclusion, allow me to
ask what head of a family in Able
vile county, who has been SO derelict
in his or her duty as not to have taken
at least one good county paper will
neglect any longer to do so after read
ing the above rude sketch of the good
that resulted from the introduction of
a newspaper into this family? I
trust not one.
There is hardly any estimating the
benefits to a family, in a moral and ed
ucational point of view, that may be
derived from a liberal supply of good
newspaper reading.
I venture the assertion without hest
tation that any young man with the
rudinents of ali English education
who will judiciously expend as much
as six or eight dollars a year for
newspapers and will carefully read
the same, will, 10 a period of five years
be a better informed, better educated,
man in the fullest sense Of the word,
than nine>tenths of those who spend
as many years and fifty times as
much money in acquiring a collegiate
education.
The boy or girl who carefully and
habitually reads as much as one good
newspaper, such as the AbJeviMe Press
and Banner or many others that I
might name, which car be had for two
dollars a year, the price of a months
tuition for one scholar in an inferior
school, will be so Informed as that he
or she may pass creditably in the best
society.
Then, again, how many are the
resolutions for good that have had
their origin in the reading of some
thing in the newspaper which awaken
ed our better natures.
Has it not frequently been the case
that we have listened to a most exhaus-
tive sermon upon an approved text
and have failed to have our emotions
In the least aroused and yet have been
moved to tears by reading some short
recital, contained in a newspaper, of
generous deed or magnanimous act
that discovered the spark of divinity
left lingering in the breast of poor
fallen humanity.
Shame then on that man who saws
he cannot afford to furnish at least one
good newspaper to his family, when so
great are the benefits which can and
may be derived therefrom.

Chicago. May 30--The next six days
are liable to witness the critical period
in the great strike OF the building trades.
For four weeks strike has followed strike,
terminating in q lockout, affecting, TO.
o greater or less extent, almost every
trade j n the city OF Chicago. Fully H.
900 men are idle, aud over 1000 first
class mechanics have left the city.
Wages to the amount OF 100000 have
been lost to the strikers. Eastern cap
itaiists have instructed their Chicago
agents to make no Investments pending
the adjustment OF the strike. and in
several cases large enterprises will be
forever. The master masons, Sealiz.ng
that 30 long ga the trades

laws and c1Btoms the strike was liable TO
be duplicated OF any time, resolved to
make q supreme effort to force the abo-

in which the honors were admitted to be

master carpenters making nine hours q

it will be defeated. The conservative
element in both master masons aud car
penters is composed of those contractors
almost dependent upon union labor, In
O great many cases another protracted
strike means bankruptcy to the smaller
contracting carpenters. The strike
has resolved itself into q contest between
the master masons and their employees,
the bricklayers and hod carriers, who
have formed an offensive and defensive
alliance. The other trades represented
in the builders aud traders exchange
are in q state OF armed neutrality. The
master masonH will depend almost en-
tIrely upon bricklayers from other cities.
The next few days will demonstrate to
what extent this course can be utilized.
The leaders OF the brieklayers promise
that no violence will be offered to any OF
the imported bricklayers. Every effort
will be used, however. to induce the new
corners to join the union.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE colored
American is coming to the front. Who
can doubt it when one sees the Hon.
Frederick Douglass retire from the best
Office, perhaps, from a financial standpoint,
in the District of Columbia only to be sue
ceeded by another man of his race, appointed
by a Democratic PRESIDENT Or when one
sees congressman, senator's, minor legislators
OF that race and learns from the national
statistics that 1900, 600 colored children are
now enrolled in the public schools of this
country. Just now public interest is excited
In the newly appointed register of deeds for
the District of Columbia.
James Monroe Trotter, the new Incumbent,
Is Il bright mulatto of Massachusetts,, who has
won fame as a soldier and a local reputation
rs a scholar and writer. He was a iieuten-
ant in the Fifty-ifth Massachusetts volun-
beers (colored), and for eighteen years filed
acceptably the post Of assistant superintend-
ent OF the registered letter department of the
Boston postofiice; he has also distinguished
himself in local politics and literature, and is
the author of a very readable book on the
music and musicians of the colored people in
America. Though q native of the south, he
was taken to Ohio by his parents at a very
early age and received a good education in
that state. When still a lad he removed tc
Massachusetts,, where he has resided some
thirty years, being now 4S years of age. He
was among the first to volunteer after the
ranks were opened TO colored men, and almost
the first of his race to hold a commission
being promoted to a li~eutensncy for conspic-
nous gaIlantry on the field. So he is not at all
an obscure man in his state, and his recent
appointment at the end of a curious contest
has given him national fame.
Hon. Frederick Douglass, who had held the
office several years, resigned soon after Presi-
dent Cleveland came into office; but held the
office over a year longer, no successor being
named. March 8, 1856, the president nomin-
ated James G.. Matthews, a colored Democrat,
of Albany, but the senate rejected the APP
pointment by an overwhelming majority, the
main reason given being that he was not o
residentof the district. After the senate nd.
journed the president again appointed Mr..
Matthews, and he was again rejected by the
senate by a vote Of t%hirty-one to seventeen,
but held the Office till the 18th instant. Or
the lastday of February the president named
Mr.. Trotter for the office. The new incum'
bent has long been noted as an Independent in
politics, maintaining that the solid voting Of
the colored people was to their disadvantage,
and in 1884 he ardently advocated the election
OF Cleveland, serving as one of the secretaries
o. the Democratic committee in Boston.

TIE proposed duel between Mon
sieur Ferry and General Boulanger
recalls several other interesting epi-
sodes. French duels have become
a subject for the mirth of journalists,
and few Americans have forgotten
Mark Twain's laughter-provoking
sketch. Boulanger, in proposing a
duel to the death, outraged all the
modern standards of the code. His
proposition to Monsieur Ferry recalls
the cartel which was exchanged be-
tween Paul de Cassagnac and Henri
Rochefort some ten or fifteen years
ago. With the exception of DR.. Glenn
enceau, Paul de Cassagnac is the best
shot and swordsman in France. Ro-
cbefort knew it was certain death to
IN set the doughty Paul, 30 he pro-
posed that they should fight breast

spectiye combatants resting against
each others hearts. Cassagnac

ground that it was barbarous. In

A MOVEMENT is under way to create
another harbor for Los Angeles. 1t is
in strong hands, and will shortly take
shape. One popularity of these pro-
jects is that they do not seek national
assistance. Any person who studies
this coast will agree, considering the
paucity of harbors here, as compared
with the Atlantic Coast, that national
aid ought to be extended to any le-
gitimate scheme which aims at their
creation or multiplication. The de-
velopment of the harbor of Cherbourg
was started under the first and COM
pleted under the third Napoleon, at an
expenditure of 60,O0O,000. Its sue
cessful inauguration, after nearly sixty
years of persevering labor, was cele-
brated by the presence OF Napoleon
the Third, Eugene and Queen Vie
toria. 1t was upon that occasion that
the nephew of the great Napoleon was
decorated with the Garter. This
enormous sum of money was not
1t added to France a
harbor which had been converted
from a roadstead not half as SER
vicable as San Pedro, and which
assured the dignity and increased the
commerce of that country. While
natural harbors are scarce on the
Pacific Coast the means OF creating
artificial ones are happily abundant
and at comparatively trifling outlays.

ELSEWHERE we refer to the very
embarrassing duty of the Board OF
Supervisors. At no sta-e in the his
tory of this county have we had such
a patriotic body as this. They are
wrestling with the difficulties of their
position with a splendid purpose OF
doing right by the people. They find
that Mr.. Mason has been oppressive
in his determinations against the
poorer classes of citizens, while he
has made dlsgraceful concessions to
rich men. As a result of their con-
victions OF duty, the Board have ap-
piled themselves to remedying these
determinations. The holders of large
ranches which were the beneficiaries
of partial assessments are being hunt
ed up and made to contribute their
quota to the public treasury. In view
of Mr.. Mason's very peculiar work as
a Republican official, this is all that
a Democratic Board of Supervisors
can do.

Mr.. G. WHITE MORTIMER, the Brit
ish Vice-Consul at Los Angeles, in
his communication to the Pau Mall
Budget, has made discovery which
is news to most of our people. He
saws that there are eight thousand
British-born subjects in Los Angeles
district, which, we suppose, means
Los Angeles county. If Mr.. Morti-
mer can figure up three thousand he
will do pretty well. To do this, he
will be obliged to fall back upon Frank
Pixley's 'Pope's Irish" Ordinarily a
a man ought to be exact in his state
ments. and an official should be very
punctilious indeed. We doubt very
much if there are, all told, three
thousand British subjects in this coun-
ty. A pleasant circumstance is, how
ever, that they are all prosperous.

GROVER CLEVELAND will doubtless
be called, by the unanimous prefer
ence of his party, and quite marked
non-partisan strength which he pos
sesses above all Democrats, with per-
haps the exception of Allen q. Thur
man, whose advanced age debars
him, to lead the Democratic hosts in
the next Presidential campaign.
While the Democratic horoscope is
thus so clear and unembarrassed, the
case is far different with our Republi-
can friends. There is little risk in as,
suming that the Republican candidate
will be Blaine, Sherman or Allison
the latter as Blaine's right-hand man
If the Maine statesman shall elect tc
head the Republican ticket, he car
probably secure the nomination, bu
he will go forward to inevitable de
feat, and he probably knows this

candidate. To get near home, his
nomination would assure California tC
the Democracy by majority OF from
ten to fifteen thousand. As agains
Cleveland there would be scarcely &
reminiscence of his candidacy. Blaine
would have to encounter again the dam
aging record which beat him in 1884
Even in California he would not be
half as strong as he was then. 1t is
very doubtful if he will ever essay the
ordeal. Allison is the strongest Of
the trio, but, as against Cleveland, he
will count for nothing. In the line OF

Republicans are dismal indeed, the
possibilities seeming to begin and end

THE British people are noted for
their generosity; and, considering the
fact that London is the center of the
worlds exchanges, this is not a very
surprising circumstance. But even
the Briton is at times recalcitrant.
While he believes in honoring the
Queen, he is now reckoning up the
cost of the Jubilee celebration. John
Bull carries out gallantly the role OF
paymaster and grumbler. Royalty is
expensive; but he realizes that those
who dance ought to pay the piper. Vic
toria comes high, but her loyal sub
jects believe that she is worth the
money. When she was winsome
maiden of eighteen, there or there
abouts, she chose to fall desperately
in love with Prince Albert of SAKE
Coburg-Gotha, a handsome youth who
was then in receipt of an income OF
81, 800 a year. The first application
of the newly married couple was to
Parliament for grant OF fifty thou
sand pounds annually for Albert. The
chivalrous Briton was all devotion,
but he cut down this sum to ten thou
sand pounds. There was thus method
in his madness. But, though he has
his economical fits, John Bull comes
to the scratch in solid fashion. No
pen of later Thackeray will ever be
devoted to writing an addendum to
that great authors -Four Georges.
After all is said and done, Victoria
will go into the galaxy of great women
rulers that are exhausted when Semi
ramis, Zenobia, Maria Theresa and a
few others are named.
